This is a similar idea to the fs_reclaim fake lockdep lock. It's fairly
easy to provoke a specific notifier to be run on a specific range: Just
prep it, and then munmap() it.
A bit harder, but still doable, is to provoke the mmu notifiers for all
the various callchains that might lead to them. But both at the same time
is really hard to reliably hit, especially when you want to exercise paths
like direct reclaim or compaction, where it's not easy to control what
exactly will be unmapped.
By introducing a lockdep map to tie them all together we allow lockdep to
see a lot more dependencies, without having to actually hit them in a
single challchain while testing.
On Jason's suggestion this is is rolled out for both
invalidate_range_start and invalidate_range_end. They both have the same
calling context, hence we can share the same lockdep map. Note that the
annotation for invalidate_ranage_start is outside of the
mm_has_notifiers(), to make sure lockdep is informed about all paths
leading to this context irrespective of whether mmu notifiers are present
for a given context. We don't do that on the invalidate_range_end side to
avoid paying the overhead twice, there the lockdep annotation is pushed
down behind the mm_has_notifiers() check.
